Bloody hell you pair. Both our crowds are terrible, if one is less terrible than the other it's nothing to be crowing about. League position is different obviously :cool:

last nights match report here. town played not bad lee roche should have scored from his header that hit the crossbar. I thought a draw was a fair result. Gareth McGlynn missed a penalty for Derry. Stephen Conlon had a poor game imo too many miskicks but he did a good save from Patrick McEleney but unfortunately the ball came back out to patrick and he did a good lob over conlon even though imo conlon could have done better to stop it. otherwise it was a good workout for the town.
Kevin Dawson was on trial for us from defunct club Sporting Fingal.Town have made further signings in Graeme Dowling from St Pats and Daniel Reilly from Athlone Town. Don Cowan was on colleges duty and out injured were Cathal Brady, Craig Walsh and Austin Skelly.
How do Derry compare to us, having seen both of them?
Although I haven't seen ye play Stu I thought Derry were poor enough last night. Only for that dodgy goal I felt we were the better team. Wasn't sure about the penalty decision but I was at the far end so souldn't say for sure if it was one or not. It was put well wide in the end! Who were the subs brought on? Would I be right in saying Conlon, Collins, Dowling, Cronin, Bell, Szerbowksi, Morley were all we used?
although early days was very impressed with the performance last night, I thought for so early in the season we looked sharp and played some good football at times.
Sammon had a great game, bossed everything in the middle, my only concern will be a premier club coming in for him. In the first half I was a bit surprised that we kept trying to hold a high line, as there were 3 occasions in the first 20 mins that balls over the top nearly cost us.. Of the new players and im still not sure of there names, I thought morley did well wide left in the second half, des hope played and one or two others. Conlon was very poor when he came on, lets hope Rouse holds on to the number 1 shirt.
As I said, very early doors, but i'm cautiously optimistic for the coming season :ball:
Have Dowling and Reilly definitely signed? I know Dowling came on but Reilly wasn't mentioned in the revised team sheet? Agreed with the comments above I thought we did well and look to be reaping the benefits of having a bit of stability for the first time in a few years. Conlon is a potential weak link though it has to be said. We're still waiting on a work permit for Rouse before he can play an official game for us, let's hope that comes through without any hitches.
Good performance last night and we never looked outclassed. While Conlon did miss kick a few times the pitch was very bobbly in fairness but even his kick outs were poor but we never seen Rouse tested so its hard to know whats going to happen between the sticks this season , The goal was quality Conlon hadn't a hope and yes it was a penalty Hylo clipped the strikers heels but we should have scored ,
was a bit disappointed with the roaches last night , Lee seemed to let the ball hit his head more than head it had he done that it might have gone in. I thought the back 4 looked solid last night and hope looks like a great signing and Deans is the perfect captain IMO.
With Skelly and Cowan still to come back hopefully we will be banging in the goals
2011 SEASON HERE WE COME!!!
Kevin Dawson wasnt bad the other night , gave away alot of fouls but he showed good heart I liked that.....any idea if hes signing?
Gonna be a competitive first division again this season, again I would take us finishing higher up the table than last season as progression, small steps and keep our house in order. One game at a time and here's hopin its an enjoyable season
It'll be hard to finish ahead of any of Monaghan, Cork, Shels, Waterford and probably Limerick. After that we should be able to compete with everyone else. So 6th or 7th would be a decent finish. Keep building the squad and running the club the right way.
yeah i'd take 6th or 7th anyway and sure who knows what we could do in the league or fai cup even giving the leinster one a go would be nice.
and well whats the story now that fingal hit the wall are mons gona go up or whats happening, i heard from one of the cork foras lads that drogheda applied for a premier license if they got it thats cat..
this is probably up in the premier/1st division topics but i can't be arsed reading that crap anymore
Pending appeals, Monaghan are up and Galway are in the A League. Drogs remain in the Premier too. So it appears to be a 10 team First Division now, whether we play each other three or four times remains to be seen. We got a Premier Division licence no bother so well done to those involved.
Whole league is up the creek nobody knows if there coming or going at the moment
So are we still playing Salthill in the first game of the season????? Or are all the fixtures completly up in the air?????
compeltely up the creek at the moment. dont forget monaghan for now are up? theres talk of havin a ten team league with each team playing each other four times instead of three so of course the fixture list would have to be shredded. the abbottstown ***** were fools in the first place to issue a fixture list too early?
Bohs game is back on it's up on bohs website. Game is in dalymount park next Monday the 21st I think that is and it's at 7-45 , admission is 10 euro under 12's go free
**** that tenner.
Heading down tonight. How much in?
Might see 1/2 of the usual heads...
Yeah was €5 in against Derry the last night.
I know it was only a friendly but last nights win over pats is sure to fill the entire squad with confidence......it wasn't a great game due to the weather but I have to say we played well and just like vs Derry last week we looked more like the premier division team.
And we still have players like skelly to play so this could be a great season especially with the league the way it
is.......impressed with morley btw some player
Thought your wingers were good. Fully deserved your victory, even if Comical dfending helped with your second
Not muc but here's the Pats goal
